Bicep curls. 10 lb dumb bells is a waste of time. Find the weight at which you can do a maximum of 5 reps before failure. Then do 5 sets of 3 reps each. Perform each curl as fast as possible while maintaining proper form. Take plenty of time between sets. The idea is not to be so sore that you can't use your arms the next day. The idea of repping to the point of failure is a bodybuilder thing that is counterproductive if you're trying to build actual strength. Pull-ups and the like are also great. I go to the park near my house to do pull-ups, but you can also get a bar that clamps on your door frame for not too much money.

god there is some fucking **** advice in this thread. can you people who know nothing about the human body kindly **** off out of this forum?

your question is fucking stupid but ill bite anyway. you are a skinny teenager and want bigger biceps, you know what you should do? eat. drink a gallon of milk a day, and eat everything you see. and do squats. get someone to show you how, and then do squats while holding heavy things. and jumping squats. bicep curls are going to do sweet **** all for you right now.

I'll bite on this Alex.

I'm a pretty skinny guy too. I see this "Milk & Squats" advice a lot on here, but never with the the claim that the bicep curls are pointless at this stage.

How so? Is it that the boy needs to build up a certain level of mass generally before you can pile it onto certain areas? Or do you just mean he shouldn't be worrying about his biceps if his body is weak because those biceps on a weak body would be pointless?

When life gives you lemons... BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!
